Do you remember your first day of school? That day marked the beginning of the most transformative journey of your life. It was magical; full of more excitement than your young mind could handle. There were likely tears of joy from your parents and smiles of encouragement from your new teachers. Even if you can’t remember the exact events you can recall the how they made your feel.

We teamed up with Pencils of Promise (PoP) to give up to 5,000 students the magic that is a first day of school. The scholarship will cover students’ school fees, school uniform, and a backpack full of supplies.

But we want your help. We’ve pledged to donate $10 for every back to school or “first day” photo or video shared using #GiveBackToSchool on Facebook, Instagram, Vine, or Twitter, up to 7,500 tweets.

So, dig up your first grade school photo. Snap a new one on campus. Get creative to help out. Upload yours by September 30 to help give a child in a developing country their first back to school memory.
